TORONTO — Ontario's Liberal government has used its majority to block opposition attempts to force top brass from eHealth Ontario to appear before a legislative committee.

The Tories and New Democrats want the committee to dig deeper into spending and expense abuses at eHealth, a problem that has since cropped up at other agencies and boards.

But the Liberals unanimously out-voted the opposition parties, without offering an explanation.

Premier Dalton McGuinty is appealing to everyone paid with taxpayers' money, whether in government or at an arms-length agency, to follow the rules.

He says if you're on the public payroll. you have to live up to public expectations.

McGuinty says he hasn't seen the reports on the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, but says the rules are clear and must be followed.

The premier dismisses suggestions his government has lost control over the 600 agencies, boards and commissions, and warns against tarring all public workers with the same brush.

If this were a Conservative government, no doubt you'd calling for his head on a platter.

But since he is an "honest" Liberal, you give him a pass.

Yes. The issue isn't the party in power; it's the shear size of the bureaucracy.

At any rate, lets remember the contempt that Liberals show the tax payer at the election time.

I will gladly vote PC as long as Tim Hudak doesn't pull a John Tory and promote seperate schools for each religion.

That shit lost Tory the election.

I suspect it's the Doctor's Union which prevents and obstructs the digitization of our health records. It could open the flood door to other efficiencies like using software to diagnose (with much better results) ailments. This could lead to a domino effect of removing intellectual monopolization.

Doctors in Ontario aren't unionized.

You're talking out your ass now.

Well THAT ought'a straighten everything all out now. McFlinty has spoken!
I'm sure that all those people will now properly regulate themselves. Hellooo McFly, how about some fucking competent oversight for a change.
That might help

The only reason McGunity is still premier is because the opposition is even more inept than he is.

Scary thought eh?
